Thanks guys.
Synicaal, I think I will heed your warning and avoid schmoop for now. I am really enjoying study.com so I probably won't have a need for it anyways.
We are all on the same side here, trying to better our lives....so let's get along and help each other out.
Learn a trade. Gain technical skills. Make money, then use this money to get a degree...if you have the desire.

Most of the courses marked at lower level (101, 102 and so on...) that I've seen do not include any special assignments. The only two I've seen with anything extra is the Public Speaking 101 and the Spanish 105 course. The History "306" type courses with those numbers definitely do have assignments. The way to check is to go to the syllabus of each course and see what it says in the grading breakdown. If the breakdown only includes quizzes and the final then there are no extra assignments. These courses have a total of 150 possible points and you need 105 to pass the course. The quizzes will give you 50 points so the final only needs 55 to reach the passing point.
Are Study.com finals multiple choice only?

Yep. 100 multiple choice questions. Some classes have extra assignments to complete but the finals are all multiple choice only. Every one I've taken has had a 2.5 hour time limit and I usually take about 30 minutes.

Sweet! I think I'll have to give Study.com a good look.

You can't beat the price of Shmoop though. You can still get done 2 courses at least in a month. I'd do US History I and Modern European History. Modern European History seemed to be more "normal" type questions like Who did this, or what was the major effect of this. And not like which quote would most likely represent something this person would say.
